Question 1

I've been experiencing a lot of pain during sex because there's not enough lubrication, and it makes me really anxious. I'm wondering if using Lox 2 jelly might help. Is it safe, and could it ease the pain I'm feeling? I'm really looking for some guidance on this.

Accepted Answer

understand your concern about the high total blood protein level (8.6) and the potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis.

_Hyperparathyroidism and High Calcium_

1. Elevated calcium levels can be a sign of hyperparathyroidism, which your doctor suspects.
2. High calcium levels can also contribute to kidney stone formation, osteoporosis, and other complications.

_High Total Blood Protein_

1. Total protein levels above 8.5 gdL can indicate an underlying condition, such as:
    - Dehydration
    - Liver or kidney disease
    - Inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis)
    - Plasma cell dyscrasias (e.g., multiple myeloma)
2. Your doctor's lack of concern might be due to the mild elevation in protein levels or the presence of other symptoms that point more strongly towards hyperparathyroidism.

_Next Steps_

1. _Follow up with the specialist_: Discuss your high calcium levels and potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis.
2. _Request a protein electrophoresis test_: This test can help identify the type of protein elevation and its underlying cause.
3. _Monitor your protein levels_: Schedule follow-up appointments to track your protein levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Question 2

Is it possible to conceive naturally with a uterine prolapse without needing surgery? What are the potential risks or complications during pregnancy if I have this condition?

Accepted Answer

Mild uterine prolapse can allow natural conception, but pregnancy may carry risks. Gynecologic evaluation is important to assess severity and plan for safe management.

Question 3

Had laparoscopic cystectomy for a 7cm dermoid ovarian cyst on October 11th but still feeling sore around the incisions with abdominal pain and backache. How long until full recovery and is flying to another state 20 days after surgery safe?

Accepted Answer

Full recovery after a laparoscopic cystectomy can take 4-6 weeks, depending on individual factors. Flying 20 days after surgery might be risky if you're still experiencing pain, especially back pain, which can indicate discomfort from the surgery. It's best to consult with your surgeon before making any travel plans.
